Ben - Apples & Oranges - this is an issue of responsible weapons training. If the 17/18 year old kids have the proper training - like army grunts that have gone through basic - then their AIT - then unit training, all under the leadership of older corporals and sargeants. Even an adult would have been hard pressed to go up against this well armed psycho.



Liquid - while I agree that this thread should not be about gun control why would you direct him somewhere else? Are we incapable of discussing this? You and Ben are about as far apart politically as anyone here but you don't have (too) many people suggesting you go elsewhere to soapbox your opinions...

1. training or no advanced training, an armed professor or student present in the classroom has better odds of taking out this bad guy than unarmed sheeple are.

2. Virginia concealed handgun permit holders are REQUIRED to have some training before their permit is issued.
